McDonald's touts 'healthy' new menu

(Salt Lake Tribune) It sounds like the set-up to a joke: The director of nutrition for McDonald’s came to town.

Wait. The fast-food giant — the same place lambasted in the documentary “Super Size Me” for encouraging poor nutrition — has one of those?

It does, and Cindy Goody was in Utah last week to speak at the Utah Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics Annual Meeting.

Goody, who is responsible for providing accurate and timely nutrition information to McDonald’s customers, also stopped by The Tribune to promote the McWrap. These portable meals contain chicken and greens and are one of the new menu items meant to appeal to the health conscious.
